Sally Brown is the title of a traditional shanty that The Libertines and Rabbi John Connor (also known as "The Rabbi") used to collaborate on. As well as collaberating on the song live, two studio versions (although both known as demos) have been recorded. One of the studio versions was released as a B Side track to The Libertines' Time for Heroes, and the other is avalible to download free from the internet as part of the "Horrorshow in London Town" collection of demos.

Shipped on board off a Liverpool liner
Way hey hold on board
And we rolled all night
And we rolled all day
For to spend our money along with Sally Brown
"What's the weather like, captain?"
"Terrible"
Sally Brown is a nice young lady
Way hey hold on board
And we rolled all night
And we rolled all day
For to spend our money along with Sally Brown
Mother doesn't like a tarry sailor
Way hey hold on board
And we rolled all night
And we rolled all day
For to spend our money along with Sally Brown
She wanted to marry a one legged captain
Way hey hold on board
And we rolled all night
And we rolled all day
For to spend our money along with Sally Brown
Sally Brown is a nice young lady
Way hey hold on board
And we rolled all night
And we rolled all day
For to spend our money along with Sally Brown
Shipped on board off a Liverpool liner
Way hey hold on board
And we rolled all night
And we rolled all day
For to spend our money along with Sally Brown
"Land Ahoy!"
